CODEX (version 1.4.0)

choiceofK: Determine the number of latent factors K.

Description

Determines the number of latent variables K via AIC, BIC, and deviance reduction. A pdf file containing all three plots is generated.

Usage

choiceofK(AIC, BIC, RSS, K, filename)

Arguments

AIC

vector of AIC for each K returned from normalize

BIC

vector of BIC for each K returned from normalize

RSS

vector of RSS for each K returned from normalize

K

vector of K returned from normalize

filename

Filename of the output plot of AIC and RSS

Value

pdf file with three plots: AIC, BIC, and percentage of variance explained versus the number of latent factors.

Details

AIC: Akaike information criterion, used for model selection; BIC: Bayesian information criterion, used for model selection; RSS: residue sum of squares, used to plot scree plot and determine the 'elbow'.
